A View from England

NAME: Maureen
LOCATION: United Kingdom

I'm an American expat - from Minnesota - residing in the UK. I'm married to an Englishman. We have two sons and we live in a small town near London.

I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, birding, knitting, movies, and going to the theatre.

I frequently blog about the government's plans for an ID card & National Identity Register which I strongly oppose. I'm also interested in issues about parenting, education, health, nature and the environment.
